Week 16: Seahawks Defeat Rival Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks one again had to face off against their former face of the franchise in Cardinals halfback Marshawn Lynch. An All-Pro halfback for the Seahawks last season, Lynch was traded to the rival Arizona Cardinals in a shocking offseason trade that brought Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson to Seattle. Lynch ran like a man possessed against his former team, as he racked up 115 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, that would be their only score, on their opening drive, as the Seahawks scored 34 unanswered points to win 34-7 and improve to 13-2 on the year.

The Seahawks have secured a bye in the playoffs but still have their eyes on the #1 seed in the NFC, and the home field advantage that goes along with it, as they continue to play hard down the home stretch of the season. The will host another division rival, in the St. Louis Rams, in week 17 before getting a week off before the divisional round of the playoffs.
GG Miki1369! Looking forward to continuing our rivalry!
